About the CATS Global Council

As we enter a new era for aviation and aerospace, it feels like a critical moment to shape the systems, principles and architectures  of the future.


To this point, each sector of the aviation industry has been working on its own agenda. The CATS Global Council is an independent innovation forum, initiated by CANSO, to facilitate greater collaboration among leaders across the aviation and aerospace industries: ANSPs, UTM service providers, aircraft manufacturers, drone operators and manufacturers, high-tech companies, airlines, airports, regulatory authorities, space agencies and research bodies.


The goal of this innovation forum is to drive the next era of aviation and forge a more adaptable, resilient industry. To explore, imagine and shape a shared vision for how our global skies can innovate and interoperate safely in the future. To show the way and go the way, enabling all aviation and aerospace players to learn, evolve and advance so that they are fit for this exciting future.
